Inbred corn line BS112

A method of introducing a desired trait into corn inbred line BS112 comprising:

• a) crossing BS112 plants with plants of another corn line that comprise a desired trait to produce F1 progeny plants;
• (b) selecting F1 progeny plants that have the desired trait;
• (c) crossing selected progeny plants with BS112 plants to produce backcross progeny plants;
• (d) selecting for backcross progeny plants that comprise the desired trait and physiological and morphological characteristics of corn inbred line BS112;
• and
• (e) performing steps (c) and (d) one or more times in succession to produce the selected or higher backcross progeny plants that comprise the desired trait and all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of corn inbred line BS112 listed in Table 1 as determined at the 5% significance level when grown in the same environmental conditions.

A method for producing an inbred corn plant, comprising:

• a) growing first generation hybrid corn plants having BS112 as a parent corn plant;
• b) inbreeding the first generation hybrid corn plants or crossing the first generation hybrid corn plants with different corn plants to yield progeny corn seed;
• c) growing the progeny corn seed of step b) to yield further progeny corn seed;
• d) repeating the inbreeding or the crossing and the growing steps of b) and c) from about 0 to about 7 times to generate inbred corn plants.

A method for producing inbred BS112, representative seed of the line having been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-6016, comprising:

• (a) planting a collection of seed comprising seed of a hybrid, one of whose parents is an inbred BS112, the collection also comprising seed of the inbred;
• (b) growing plants from the collection of seed;
• (c) identifying inbred parent plants;
• (d) controlling pollination in a manner which preserves the homozygosity of the inbred parent plant;
• and,
• (e) harvesting resultant seed.
